About Politicast

The first independent European podcasting platform dedicated to politics.

Our mission is to bring clarity to the political message, by providing an easy way for politicians to share ideas and report their political action.

We created Politicast to allow politicians to easily share, in an audio format, their political action.

Like you, we are witnessing the excesses and abuses done with our data. We believe it is time to reconsider how we grant access to our bits of personal lives in order to use "free" services online. We also believe that Europe should progressively get the ownership of its data back. And it makes perfect sense, to start with politics.

As much as possible, we are using services hosted in Europe and we have taken the decision to remain independent as long as possible. That means we are not taking any external funding to run this platform.
